Flocking
I.
I see Benu birds* flocking towards Key West
Fly together.
Why? – Are they not sure it will be warm
If they get there?
Perhaps, because when they’re alone reality might
Shatter.
II.
I see them flying in a V
Following He who is in front
As closely as possible so as to not break—
Away from the group.
III.
I see a River flowing. The Air— ticking.
I feel the rush of ink flowing into the River
From the veins of John, Mark and Paul (Grinning) –
Mortal men made Immortal, by being the first
To fly south.
IV.
I see Leviticus, long horns bared, nose flared,
Surrounded by his legion of screaming, red-faced angels,
Floating on a pen.
God— I wish he’d fall off.
